Female car insurance - maintenance warnings

It's true that female drivers have fewer accidents than guys and therefore have cheap female car insurance, but a survey out this week showed that a third of women don't check their own tyres.

The road safety charity Brake conducted the research and said the results were worrying:

"It's shocking that so many drivers, particularly women, are failing to take responsibility for the safety of their vehicles, and putting other road users at risk," said Mary Williams, chief executive of Brake. "Women are known to be safer drivers than men, but this survey shows there is no room for complacency."

"Regular, simple checks of tyres, lights, oil and water could save a life and should be a matter of priority for all drivers."

*A replacement car can normally be arranged under one of the following conditions: (1) Comprehensive policyholders – a replacement car may be available under the terms of your insurance policy. Please check your policy details for more information. (2) Non fault accident – where we have the name, car registration number and insurance details of the person who caused the accident, we can supply a replacement car. This is done on a credit hire basis which means the costs for this service will be passed onto the insurance company of the person who caused the accident. We may not be able to arrange a replacement car where we are unable to get an admission of liability from their insurance company, or where the driver is untraceable or uninsured. (3) Repair garage – if your car is booked in for repairs following an accident, the repair garage may be able to provide a replacement car (subject to availability).
